Preferred name for female genitalia

DanaC · 04-27-2009, 01:33 PM

That whole 'fishy' thing really pisses me off as well. As a young woman growing up I was fucking neurotic about how I may or may not smell. Because of lads constantly making references to the fishy thing (not about me...just generally about girls). Made me very uncomfortable about the whole thing. In fact I still am. I am still deeply uncomfortable about letting a guy (even one much loved) go down on me. And that is mainly because of being made to feel that way about female genitalia whilst growing up. Just the very thought that there might be an unpleasant smell (how would I know?) put me off.

Growing up as a girl, you spend an awful lot of your life being given some very strange and confusing messages. On the one hand, it would appear that the main reason lads want you is for your lady garden...on the other hand the lady garden is characterised as smelly and ridiculous.

Well you've covered the fishes, but you have to get around to the loaves before the crucifixion.

How much bread did you want for your fish?

i doubt i will find an etymology for "queef" even in the oed, but my guess is it arose as a sort-of-onomatopoeic word for the sound/event it refers to (when a penis forces air out of a vagina). i know of no other meaning for the word, nor of any more 'proper' term for the same thing (unless you wanna try "vaginal flatulence" haha. i don't), nor have i seen the word habitually used in some way that would give it some secondary color or connotation that would justify a guilt-by-association prejudice against it (i myself hate the word "cunt" for just this reason, because i have most often heard it used to call a woman a 'cunt', and almost invariably by the sort of guys who hate women and probably hit their wives. e.g. "i can't believe that CUNT called the cops on me. i should've blacked BOTH her eyes!").
is this like my prejudice against 'cunt'? or am i missing something? :p
